If you like your whiskey strong and Irish but are looking to branch out,
the Knot ($24, shotoftheknot.com) will kiss you like a drunken bar wench
(and, at 100 proof, can get you into as much trouble). It's an Irish whiskey liqueur.
Butterscotch notes may smoothe the ragged edges of this junkyard dog, but it's still
a man's drink. As company spokesman Mickey puts it on the website, "Here's to you.
Unless you are some kind of giggling idiot who likes to high-five, drink light beer
and talk rubbish." Cheers.
